Loving that the beautiful fleurs show us how to give back to the earth by sharing their seeds so that next season their kin will emerge and carry on the beauty of wildflowers. #nature #naturephotography #mindfulness #forestbathing #natureconnection #fleurs #wildflowers

The blue sky is a gorgeous backdrop, a canvas, upon which the images changes each minute with the wind. #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #awe #beauty #clouds #sky #trees

The first bloom from my Jerusalem artichokes this season. Oh happy day! 🥰 #naturephotography #sunflowers #nature

I love to see the clouds float layers against the blue sky, some just resting there while others float on by. #clouds #sky #nature #naturephotography #autumnsky #awe

Beautiful sunfleurs and their mathematical genius 😊❤️ #nature #sunflowers #naturephotography

A beautiful summer storm rolling in and rolling out as quickly as it came. A soft thunder is rumbling in the distance. #Chicago #summer #nature #clouds #summerstorms

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order-John Burroughs #wildflowers #natureismedicine #prairiestate #nature #springtime #awe #beauty

Today I lead a group of wonderful people in a forest bathing session and found through community there is connection and the ability to slow down and simply be present. Nature. Connection. #forest #forestbathing #shinrinyoku #awe #destress #community

Traipsing around the nature preserve today these sweet ephemerals (albeit not entirely native, well, except for the baby bluebell) were popping up. Signs of Spring! #Spring #wildflowers #awe #happiness #chicago #urbangreenspaces

Gorgeous #bluesky

After a controlled burn in late January, we see the shoots of the prairie plants emerging bright and green. Nature is amazing! #regeneration #natureisamazing #nature #spring #prairie #greenspaces

Spending time on my beloved path, just watching the clouds fly by #naturebreak #forestbathing #awe #beauty #nature #getoutside

I come to my beloved path and it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful it is.

Noticing the texture that comes with a winter landscape. ❤️☁️

Winter is a lovely time take in the atmosphere of the forest (or in this case an urban wetland!). Notice the crispness of the air, the cold of the snow, the winter colors. I wonder what winter items will grab your attention!

In Forest bathing we connect with nature by engaging our senses, noticing here the glow of the sun landing gently on the snow.
